Understanding chaos through a Jerk circuit

A simple Jerk circuit that allows studying chaotic dynamics in terms of theoretical variables ẋ̈, ẍ, ẋ and x, and their equivalent experimental outputs was modeled and implemented. The designed circuit presented a chaotic behaviour depending on the value of a single parameter A ∝ 1/R _A . The variation of A allowed observing the occurrence of a fork trajectory and its evolution into chaos, facilitating to understand the chaotic behaviour in this easily implementable electrical circuit.
